With Mason Mount still yet to pen an extension at Chelsea, Todd Boehly must allow the next head coach to decide whether he leaves or stays. The 24-year-old midfielder faces an increasingly uncertain future at Stamford Bridge with his contract set to expire at the end of next season.
One of Boehly's priorities after buying the club last year was to tie Mount down to a long-term deal, football.london understands. But, it's said that negotiations have proven difficult thus far with the proposed length of contract and wage packet an issue.
The England international is far from one of the top earners at Cobham despite notching nearly 200 appearances for the club. If an agreement cannot be reached then Mount will be become a free agent in June 2024 and, until then, he'll be available for a cut-price fee.
